A loan helped to buy pigs and concentrated feed.


Ruby Esther's story

Ruby is an enterprising, dynamic woman of 29 years. She is the mother of two children and resident of Montería. She lives in a common-law marriage, and, like many brave women, decided to take control of her future. Over three years ago, she started a project raising pigs, with the objective of generating income and supporting her family's well-being.

Since then, Ruby has worked with resolve and passion, facing the challenges of farm life with determination. Today, Ruby is seeking an economic boost to buy more pigs and concentrated feed, thereby strengthening her business and making it more sustainable and profitable.

Her goal is clear: to move her productive project ahead, make herself into a successful woman, and guarantee a better quality of life for her children.
